As AI agents begin to act, payments move into the background — at machine speed and massive scale.
Today we’re introducing Mastercard Agent Pay for Machines — bringing structure, governance, and trust to this new class of payments.
Launching with 30+ partners to bring this to life from day one.
This isn’t just more payments. It’s a new operating model for commerce.

Today, Mastercard is announcing plans to expand settlement capabilities to include stablecoin, intraday, holiday, and weekend options, giving partners more choice in how and when transactions are settled. That means we’re:
✅ Enabling greater choice to settle in fiat or regulated stablecoins
✅ Improving liquidity management for time sensitive, cross border flows
We’re supporting settlement with @Circle’s USDC, @Paxos-issued stablecoins including USDG,USDP and @PayPal’s PYUSD, @Ripple’s RLUSD and @SoFi’s SoFiUSD across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, @Coinbase’s Base, @CantonNetwork’s Canton, Ethereum, @0xPolygon, @Solana, @Tempo and XRPL. ARQ Finance, CBW Bank, @crossriverbank, @Lead_Bank and @Nuvei will be among the first to support.
Today, we announced our intent to acquire @BVNKFinance, expanding our end-to-end support of digital currencies with BVNK’s leading stablecoin-based payment Infrastructure. Together, we’re strengthening how fintechs, platforms and financial institutions connect traditional fiat and on-chain payments across rails, currencies, and regions.
Can you use crypto to pay for pizza?
Yes.
Crypto cards let you pay just like any other card, while your digital assets power the transaction and are processed in fiat on the Mastercard Network behind the scenes.
Bybit Pay now integrates @Mastercard Crypto Credential™.
Built as part of our long-term partnership with Mastercard, this enables username-based on-chain transfers with built-in asset and network compatibility checks.
A simpler, safer way to move digital assets for everyday use.

Digital assets are entering a new phase. What once ran in parallel to existing financial systems is increasingly being applied to solve practical, real-world needs — often behind the scenes – from cross-border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities to add value in how money moves globally.
Today, we introduced the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program — a global initiative that brings together more than 85 crypto-native companies, payments providers, and financial institutions. Together, we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space continues to mature.
🔥 HUGE: Mastercard launches a Crypto Partner Program, bringing together 85 crypto companies to develop cross-border transfers, B2B payments and global payouts.
More ways to move money, with the trust and scale businesses expect. Proud to partner with @SoFi to enable SoFiUSD settlement across our network and support always on commerce.
LATEST: ⚡ MetaMask launched its self-custodial Mastercard spending card across 49 US states, with users able to pay with crypto wherever Mastercard is accepted.
This is why we do it.

I was so involved helping that I barely took pictures, these are the only ones I have so far, but more coming soon.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated gifts, and made this possible. Our community showed up ❤️ #KryptoPioneers
